I've never worn the surgical gloves. Tried getting on a pair over these hamhocks of mine and tore them up before getting half way.

What is Simple Green? :whip2:

LOL, but what's the issue? I don't remember my B11 being particularly messy and I'm a bit of a neat freak in the shop.

Like I have those PIG matt oil absorbent matts that I put down before changing oil, and I put them down on crushed cardboard so there's another layer.

And I do wear a pair of gloves, and I REALLY don't like it if I spill some of that oil onto the matts never mind the cardboard.

The only thing I remember being a little messy was the transmission and the centerstand/exhaust, but I'd cut a beer can and formed it into a drain which minimized even that. A quick spray of Brakleen was all I ever needed.
